Capturing CO2 and sequestering it underground is an attractive longer term option for greenhouse gas reduction, but decisions regarding it cannot be postponed. Many of the decisions which power plants are making today will impact their CO2 capture costs. Therefore, capture has to be considered an urgent subject for analysis. These are the conclusions reached by McIlvaine in its ...

Mercury is often removed from industrial emissions with 'activated carbon' which is then disposed of. A recent study assesses the adsorption of mercury by four types of activated carbon and demonstrates that they all provide a permanent means of locking away mercury. As part of the EU Mercury Strategy1 emissions of mercury from major industrial sources are subject to the EU legislation on air ...

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced today that it will provide US$36 million for 15 projects aimed at furthering the development of new and cost-effective technologies for the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants. “Currently, the existing US coal fleet accounts for over half of all electricity generated in this country,” US Secretary of Energy ...

Today, the Department of Energy and Skyonic Corporation marked the opening of a major project demonstration for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into commercial products. This new plant will use a first-of-its-kind process to capture 75,000 tons of CO2 from a San Antonio, Texas, cement plant and convert the greenhouse gas into other products, including sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, ...

An innovative technology that could potentially help some coal-based power generation facilities comply with anticipated new mercury emissions standards was successfully demonstrated in a recently concluded milestone project at a Michigan power plant. Under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), WE Energies demonstrated ...

The new regulations to reduce mercury emissions are creating a market for products and services of hundreds of millions of dollars per year and a five year market in excess of $1 billion. This is the conclusion of the McIlvaine Company in its Air Pollution Management online service. These totals are extracted from the more specific McIlvaine reports on air pollution monitoring and sampling, ...

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selections of six projects that aim to find ways of converting captured carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources into useful products such as fuel, plastics, cement, and fertilizers. Funded with $106 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -matched with $156 million in private cost-share -today"s selections ...

American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) is terminating its cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy and placing its plans to advance carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology to commercial scale on hold, citing the current uncertain status of U.S. climate policy and the continued weak economy as contributors to the decision. "We are placing the project on hold until economic ...

Nalco (NYSE: NLC) and its subsidiary Nalco Mobotec Inc., a global leader in air protection technology, today announced a contract with the City of Springfield, Ill., for mercury emission control at the city's Dallman Power Station. The one-year agreement, with two one-year ...

Over the next 12 years owners of coal-fired power plants will spend $200 billion dollars to add flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems to existing and new combustion units. This is the latest forecast of the McIlvaine Company in World FGD Markets, an online continually updated report. Over 800,000 MW of coal-fired boilers will be fitted with scrubber systems. Over 2000 units at an average cost ...

"Clean coalcan providea greener, more cost efficient strategy than gas to bridge the transition between fossil fuels and renewables for baseline power production," said Bob Marrs, Vice President of International Business Development for ...

Eco Power Solutions, the leading provider of advanced multi-pollutant emissions control systems, demonstrated the success of its COMPLY 2000 technology during a Coal-Gen tour of its Technology Center on Tuesday, August 14. The Center's coal unit removed nearly 100 percent of NOx and SOx emissions during the two-hour tour. Eco Power Solutions hosted a group of industry executives at its Technology ...

Power plants in East Asia will spend $4.8 billion on flue gas desulfurization (FGD) this year. This will be 63 percent of the total worldwide expenditure. This is the conclusion reached in FGD World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com) These forecasts do not include repair parts and upgrades nor do they include consumables ...

Over 80 percent of the flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems installed around the world utilize limestone as a reagent and spray towers to recirculate the limestone slurry and capture the SO2. The McIlvaine Company predicts that after forty years of use, this approach will give way to newer technologies. These technologies will achieve higher efficiencies, consume less energy, capture multiple ...

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to invest in multiple commercial-scale Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) or other clean coal power plants with cutting-edge carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology under the Department’s restructured FutureGen program. The solicitation is seeking multiple cost-shared projects to ...

Revenues for suppliers of stationary NOx control systems, catalysts and reagents will exceed $6.8 billion in 2012. The biggest markets for new systems are in Asia whereas the greatest purchases of catalysts and reagents are in the U.S. and Europe.
